How Is Von Baer Leather Different?

Not all leather is the same.

Since 2015, we at Von Baer have dedicated ourselves to high-quality real leather.

Here's a 30-second summary of how to choose a better leather product:

  • Leather comes in different grades: full-grain, top-grain, and split/bonded - which represent how much of the original product is used (less product used = cheaper).
  • Full-grain is the best grade of leather you can buy: exceptionally durable, developing an elegant patina, and having that beautiful real leather smell.
  • Cheaper grades are less durable, age poorly, and don't have that authentic scent.
  • Leather is processed through "tanning", which makes it durable and water-resistant.
  • The two main methods for this are "vegetable-tanning" and "chrome-tanning".
  • Chrome tanning uses harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and produce a worse quality leather.
  • Vegetable tanning is the best method, being more eco-friendly, and producing leather with a better patina and scent.

That's why here at Von Baer, we only use full-grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from the finest tanneries across Tuscany, Italy.

It ages beautifully over time, developing a unique patina, making it more durable and luxurious than lower-quality leather.

It's also why we developed the leather standards trademark Cuoio Superiore (meaning "superior leather" in Italian).

Why are designer bags more expensive?

You’re not paying all this for just a logo. No, it’s about how much time and effort is put in order to create your masterpiece and also the quality of material used to make it durable and stylish.

Von Baer bags offer you the high quality materials and craftsmanship of a designer brand, without the price tag.

Designer bags are an investment

The best things about designer bags are that they don’t lose their value. You can give it to someone as a gift when you are tired of it or you can make money selling it on a resale website.

The high quality leather used in all Von Baer products means they could become a family heirloom.

How to choose your luxury bag

If this is your first time buying a designer bag, then this bit is for you.

First, you need to know what kind of bag you’re looking for. You need to find a bag that suits your personality and lifestyle.

For example, if you spend most your time in the office and don’t really go to evening events, then a tote bag will be perfect for you. If you spend most of your days outdoors, then a crossbody bag is best for you since it has a lot of room so you can easily go from one place to the other hands-free.

Another thing to take care of when choosing a bag is your wardrobe. Pick a color that matches your clothing.

Aside from the bag’s appearance, there are other factors to consider. An important factor to consider is its durability under heavy rain. You also need to make sure it can fit all your stuff.

Before buying the bag, check that the stitching is equidistant and precise at the corners and that the hardware is neatly polished.

Von Baer was founded because I wanted a unique and high-quality laptop bag for myself, without paying for an unreasonably overpriced designer brand. I've spent over 500 hours testing 1,000s of leather products over 10 years to help you get a better product.
I'm proud of the luxurious leather goods we've created since 2014, and I'm sure you'll love them too. Read more about our story here.
